leftieNanner's JournalMaestro is fantastic!
Great movie about Leonard Bernstein. I sang the Chichester Psalms in college. The music is fabulous (of course) and Bradley Cooper is remarkable. I didn't know much about his life.
OMG Lawrence!
Brett Kavanaugh wrote a paper 25 years ago saying a President can be indicted after leaving office.

Great day to get this news - I have high cholesterol
Finally got myself up early to go in for fasting blood work on Tuesday. Got the results in an email this morning. Cholesterol is 256! I've been borderline before, but this is awful.
Doctor wants to put me on drugs (probably a statin) and I'm reluctant - perhaps because this certifies that I am old if I have to take a pill every day.
Any cholesterol buddies out there in DU land? Any thoughts about increasing exercise and fixing diet being enough?
Saw The Holdovers last weekend
It's wonderful. I see very few movies these days because they are all so disturbing.
Paul Giamatti is incredible. Many Oscar noms here.
Saw Rachel Maddow Last Night!
She is an absolute rock star! We got there early enough (in the rain - Seattle, of course) that we were in the fifth row center. THAT CLOSE to her brilliant mind. The event lasted 90 minutes and I was enthralled every single second. She is brilliant, thoughtful, self-deprecating, and funny.
We are lucky to have her wit and wisdom on our side. The crowd was 100% on her team - nobody disrupted.
Her final comments were for all of us to stay engaged, read, and connect with family and friends to keep them informed and engaged also. VOTE! And find another way to participate - be a poll worker, connect with Indivisible, get folks registered to vote.
I received a copy of her new book Prequel along with the registration for the event. I'll check in later after I've read it.
I Heard Back from an Agent!!!
I have written a Contemporary Middle Grade Novel and, after several rewrites, it's been sent out into the agent stratosphere.
This morning I got a response from my query to send the full manuscript.
Crossing fingers that she likes it as much as my daughers and friends do.
Rachel Maddow Book Tour Announced Tonight
Rachel's new book Prequel is coming out in October. She announced her book tour on her show tonight. She will be in 12 major cities across the country. The cost is $45.00 per ticket, which includes a copy of the book.
This will sell out very fast. Please go online to msnbc.com/prequel and order your tickets now.
I went to her event for Blowout a few years ago. The guys sitting next to me paid $400.00!
Robin Williams
Thinking about him today for some reason.
Oh, how I do miss him.
Sigh.
